Default Fresh air question

My garage is my studio - have great ventilation. Using oxy con and propane (may change to natural gas - diff thread...). I can add a window for fresh air but it must be on the same side of the garage as my torch/ventilation. Will that work? Thanks!

Default What is upwind?

I can only get it about 6ft away - and I'm not sure what upwind is - - but it will be an awning window up next to the ceiling - does that count?

No door - just adding a window - probably 2 ft high, 4 ft wide

Simple solution is to use ducting to route your exhaust 4 feet to the side away from the new window.
